Triumph Speed Twin 900

Triumph has launched the 2019 Street Twin at Rs 7.45 lakh which is Rs 25,000 less than its predecessor. The updated motorcycle was first showcased at the Intermot 2018 in Cologne, Germany. It features comprehensive mechanical updates and minor design tweaks like a redesigned Triumph logo on the fuel tank and side panels, brushed aluminium headlamp brackets and new cast aluminium alloy wheels. 

The 900cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin motor  has been made lighter with the use of magnesium covers, lighter clutch and crankshaft. It also gets a balancer shaft for improved refinement. Power is up from 55PS to 65PS. Torque output remains the same at 80Nm, but comes later at 3800rpm instead of the previous 3200rpm. The rev limit by 500rpm, to 7500rpm thanks to lighter engine internals. Electronic updates include two new rider modes: Road and Rain. 

Suspension updates include new 41mm KYB front forks that get internal cartridge damping units. The rear still gets a conventional KYB monoshock. Braking should improve thanks to new Brembo four-piston front caliper instead of the previous Nissin two-piston caliper. While the rear Nissin calliper remains unchanged, surprisingly the Street Twin now gets a smaller 220mm rear disc instead of the previous 255mm rear disc.

The 2019 Triumph Street Twin currently faces no rivals in its segment.
